While I was moving jails from one host to another, I decided to start using /etc/jail.conf.d/. The idea is each jail gets its own configuration file in that directory, instead of using /etc/jail.conf. In this post: FreeBSD 13.1 But first, you should know Let’s get some things out in the open before you jump into …
After moving the poudriere jail (pkg01) to the new host (r730-01), I noticed this message from Nagios: That “email found in . /var/mail/dan” message is significant. In general mail on my hosts/jails is not delivered locally. It all goes off-host. That’s why I have this Nagios check. When mail like that is found, it’s either …

This is a quick post about the steps I’m using to move my jails from one host to another. This is bing done as I merge two hosts into one. I have not attempted to automate this, apart from the initial syncoid copying of data. This post is base roughly upon my Mastodon post from …
I recently moved the pkg01 jail from one host to another. I’m having trouble getting it to build packages. [pkg01 dan ~] % sudo poudriere testport -j 131amd64 -p dvl -z primary -i devel/py-pip [00:00:00] Error: Please load the linux module on the host using “kldload linux” On the host: [r730-01 dvl /etc/jail.conf.d] % sudo …

After booting, my vms are not started by sysutils/vm-bhyve. Why? Perhaps it’s because I did not set vm_list. Here is me starting them today up after booting the host yesterday. NOTE: I already have a not to myself to add VM monitoring to Nagios. [pro03 dan ~] % slocum Last login: Tue Jan 17 14:52:12 …

After encountering a rare instance where processing a FreeBSD commit caused FreshPorts to run low on resources, I want to investigate how limiting a jail might help this situation. I searched for ‘jail limit’ – found sentencing guidelines. I searched for ‘jail limit freebsd’ and found a FreeBSD Forums referring me to rctl(8), which I …
Copies of data are good. Especially if on a different host. zfs snapshots combined with zfs send | zfs recv make replication of zfs file systems especially easy. I am already using sanoid to manage zfs snapshots. Now I’m going to use syncoid to transfer those snapshots to another host. Both sanoid and syncoid are …

After the former FreshPorts server was retired, its OpenVPN credential were revoked. I maintain those certificates via ssl-admin. I uploaded the new CRL into the System | Certificate Manager | Certificate Revocation page in pfSense. Today, I was seeing strange errors in Nagios, and figured someone wasn’t connected to the VPN. Checking OpenVPN client logs, …
The FreshPorts dev, test, and stage websites are hosted on a server in my basement. Each instance consists of two jails: an ingress node – for pulling in new commits (and other data) into the database. a webserver node – for displaying the web pages. The new drives: Sometimes the zpool gets too close to …
